Perfidy

Japanese: 背信行為 - はいしんこうい(英語表記)perfidy
Perfidy
In wartime, a belligerent intentionally violates an express promise or deceives the enemy in violation of the customary international law of war. Breach of trust is an illegal act that violates the trust that belligerents must maintain even during war, and constitutes a war crime. The use or misuse of the Red Cross flag or the military envoy flag in cases other than those permitted by international law in wartime, and attacking the enemy by disguising themselves with the enemy's uniform or flag, constitutes a treacherous act. In contrast, acts that deceive the enemy, such as ambushes, espionage, and surprise attacks, that do not involve treacherous acts, are considered lawful as tricks of war (strategies of war) (Hague Convention on Land Warfare, 24).
